70-year-old Mission man's collection included unexploded ordnance including mortars, a practice bomb and more
A medical call in Mission turned into the seizure of almost 1,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance, firearms and ammunition.
Master sailor Charlie Chamberlain, the lead operator on the call for EOD, says first responders initially saw a single grenade sitting on a bench in the man’s kitchen and another box of grenades in a back room. “He made his own small arms. So, we even found a working 50-calibre machine gun with a pencil stand,” Chamberlain said. “Normally when we get calls, it might be for a single item or maybe a couple … but normally it's just maybe a single grenade or a single mortar. There might be a handful of them, but definitely not around 1,000 items,” he said.
